Hey everyone,
I got this phone yesterday, very familiar with Windows Mobile. I'm using the latest OEM TMobile ROM and I manually uninstalled applications since they're part of the ROM they don't show in remove programs. I installed Opera Mobile 10 and it's not working the way I want, the problem is that I've deleted ONE file belonging to the old opera, the one located in Windows\Start Menu\Programs, called "Opera Browser" or something. I don't want to do a hard reset just to get one file back, especially after having tweaked the phone so much. Can someone just upload the file here so that I can move it onto my phone?
Thank you so much for all your help.

I've somehow goofed and deleted the default messenging client when I was trying out other alternatives. I ended up liking it better than the other solutions I tried and just want it back now. =\ Is there anywhere I can grab this (download, et cetera)? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Or, do I have to do a clean install to get it back? Is there a way to browse a ROM image to grab what I need from it? IE: the Messenging files only?
Thanks

In Total Commander or whatever file explorer you use
In the address bar, Type:
Extended_Rom
Click on the Signed_OzPocketPC.Cab file.
Thanks for the reply. I was able to browe my extended ROM just fine but that file is not in there. I'm on a Wizard using a clean ROM which I would assume has something to do it.
Thanks
There is a link in the wizard forum that has the cab attached. Do a search there or try the Howard Forums T-Mobile Windows Mobile forum. I'm sure you'll find it....
Edit...
Here you go, about 3 post down...

Thanks, I've been unable to find the CAB file as of yet but I will keep searching.
edit: Thanks!
if you mean msn messenger then they prob only removed the shortcut
try looking in the win dir for the exe
I have a Telus branded TP2, and I downloaded .Net compact framework 3.5. I originally had dl'ed to my storage card, but it wouldn't run that way. I then dl'ed it to my device by tapping "open" instead of "save". When the download finished, it didn't launch. I see by my leftover device memory that it did download, but I can't find it.
Does it need to actually be installed, or is it already running, and how do I find it? I did a search, even went manually through my files, but cannot locate it.
Wow, 60 plus views & no help? Anyone? Did not think it would make it off the front page with zero replies.
Try File Explorer andlook in the My Documents folder.
Did you download with Opera?
Thanks for replying. I went through everything I could open with file explorer when I downloaded it, couldn't find it. Even tried finding it with Total Commander. I don't remember if I used Opera or IE.

I had the same issue when selecting open instead of save. The cabs have been saving to a folder called MUSIC...this is a different folder from the folder My Music. when you open file explorer go to My Device and the folder MUSIC should be located there. Consider that I have a Verizon TP2. I hope this helps.
I did actually look there, looked in all my folders, still can't find them. Thanks for the suggestion nevertheless.
Did you try looking in \Application Data\Opera9 ?
If Net CF is loaded you should see it under remove programs.
First of all, I've to say that I spent several hours trying to make Opera 10 working correctly with the TouchFLO interface. Trust me, you can't do this editing the registry or other files.
The only way to run Opera Mobile 10 (beta) from the Internet tab is using a little app called "VJBrisk.exe". I've found these informations here; they were written in order to launch Skyfire, but I've done the same thing to launch Opera and it worked.
Here's a little tutorial. Hope this will finally help you.
1) Install Opera Mobile 10 (http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/) into your mobile. It will prompt you to set Opera as default browser. Say YES.
2) Download VJBrisk (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBrisk) and install it on your mobile
3) Copy "VJBrisk.exe" (you can find it into the apps list -start, etc.-) with a good explorer (I reccomend Total Commander) into the \Windows folder
4) Rename "OperaL.exe" to "OperaL.exe.bak" (who knows...) into the \Windows folder
5) Rename "VJBrisk.exe" (\Windows) to "OperaL.exe"
6) Create a shortcut to Opera Mobile 10 (you can do this with Total Commander by clicking File - >>>>> - Create shortcut) and move this shortcut to the \Windows folder
7) Rename the shortcut to "OperaLLNK.lnk" into the \Windows folder
8) Do a soft reset
That's all. 99% working on my HTC Touch Viva.
I say 99% because if you click the "All bookmarks" link (not the bookmarks...) on the left, Opera will show you an error page saying "Could not open file. You tried to access the address file://localhost/Bookmarks, which is currently unavailable..."; the same for the "Browser" link on the right. I think this is a sort of Opera Mobile 10 bug, maybe it will be resolved with the final release.
Haven't had a chance to try this yet, and don't plan to until I can get the zoombar to work with opera 10. That, or a good touchflo port to the blueangel. Thanks for this, though
This operation is not working with my Touch Pro and Opera Mobile 10 Beta2u enhanced version.
I can't try with this model, sorry
But I think this operation has to work with all HTC mobiles, because it just replaces the original OperaL.exe with another that links to the new Opera 10...
Now, when you click on the globe, what happens?

I've tried this way before using VJBrisk, but it failed for me.
Anyway, I think it's not "comfortable" to copy the entire content of the Opera folder into \Windows, what if you then upgrade to a newer version?
When I tap on the Internet tab is written:
! Opera10-armv4i.exe
The file "Opera10-armv4i" cannot be opened. Either it is...
...restoring this file.
I checked also in registry what is under /HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/DEFBROWSER and it is already with Opera10-armv4i.exe
Is "Opera Mobile 10 Beta2u enhanced version" = Opera10-armv4i.exe ???

I don't know if the enhanced version has the same executable file name, but I guess yes, so check again if the OperaLLNK.lnk file correctly redirects to Opera10-armv4i.exe and remember to place it (the .lnk) in the \Windows folder together with the vjbrisk.exe renamed to OperaL.exe

This file is a ROM file on my system (Touch HD, Orange ROM 1.59.61.2) and it seems it cannot be re-named. Any work-arounds?
Thanks!
Easier to understand instructions!!!
Opera 10 doesn't have the same OperaL.exe file like 9 did. So Touch Flo is hard coded to execute the OperaL.exe file which doesn't exist.
1st off, nothing needs to be changed in the Registry!!!
1. I basically pasted the 'VJBrisk.exe' into the Windows Directory.
2. Renamed 'VJBrisk.exe' to 'OperaL.exe' in the Windows Directory.
3. Went to Program Files\Opera Mobile 10 \Opera10-armv4i.exe (your Opera exe might be named something different. I'm using Opera Mobile 10 Beta3 Repack) and created a shortcut of that exe and copied the shortcut to the Windows Directory.
**If you want to use a different browser or have some other executable launch, just make a shortcut to what you want to launch**
4. Renamed the Shortcut to 'OperaLLNK.lnk'
5. Test that the 'OperaL.exe' now fires off the Opera Browser. If it doesn't, you probably have a typo.
6. Now go to Touch Flo and press the 'Launch Browser' globe icon and now Opera should open up for you! You can also add your new Push pages and they should launch as well.
7. Only problem now is that it opens 2 tabs in the browser, 1st tab of my Start Page like normal, but then on top of that it opens a 2nd tab to the path of 'file://localhost/home'. Anyone know why it does this? It doesn't do this when the browser is launched anywhere else besides the Touch Flo launching of it. Is it maybe looking for AT&T's MEdiaNet home page? If so, where can I restore the link to MEdiaNet's homepage or can I just tell it to go to some other webpage?
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

I've been messing with this for hours and finally figured it out...
Don't rename vjbrisk.exe to replace OperaL.exe because it won't work. Instead rename vjbrisk.exe to OperaL.exe in another folder and then COPY that file over the top of OperaL.exe in the Windows folder.
Finally this worked for me. The Windows\OperaL.exe file is locked in ROM and can only be copied over and not renamed over. I guess some Windows Mobile devices don't have this file locked and renaming over works for them.
Confirm success and advice not to do it
I confirm Darkbsoul. The only way to switch to Opera 10 by now is using VJBrisk. The procedure is straightforward and works immediately! No need for a soft reset.
However, as much as I like Opera 10, I will refrain from dumping HTC's original Opera 9.5 build 15316 as my default TF3D browser:
1. The error message is ugly on your face each time you fire up Opera 10 from TF3D.
2. VJBrisk's approach is somewhat slower: you run VJBrisk, which in turn runs Opera 10.
3. I lose my saved Opera 9.5 bookmarks
4. I can't use the nice Opera 10 3X3 start pages grid
I've got some solution, not perfect (and I think not for Sense, but only for TF3D), but it's one way how to launch Opera mobile 10 from internet tab.
Open \Windows\27c65cbd_manila in notepad and there you can add link to any program you want. You should have there a link to Youtube, so just copy&paste it and edit Text, Executable and ImagePath to anything you want. Don't be surprised with the qtc extension used in image path for Youtube, you can use for example PNG and it will work.
hi just want to say thank you, works like a charm on my hd2 with a custom rom that only have internetexplorer cooked in. i installed opera 10 to the device. rename vjbrisk.exe to iexplore.exe and the link to opera10 to iexploreLNK.lnk. then copied both files to my windows folder and bingo i can use the internet tab/favorites of 'htc sense' to start opera. only bad thing is i cant start the real internetexplorer anymore but who cares.

if a file is in rom then you dont have to care about it. files in rom cant be overwritten, so if you copy a file with the same name over a rom file the rom file is still there, its just somewhat 'invisible'. if you want to recover the rom file simply delete the file you copied over it, and the rom file will reapear.

Hi! You rock! This is work perfectly... with opera mini also!
But, how can I remove "file://localhost/Bookmarks" message when I tap the "All bookmarks" button? Thnks!
Ok, new to all this. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA. I flashed to an Energy Rom, looks great. Now... How do I load other software... games and such? I have looked around here, thinking it would be part of the first post, I was wrong. Perhaps this site is too advanced for that? If so, point me to a newbee site and off I shall ride. Thanks in advance for your help. This phone is awesome, and the Energy rom I loaded, looks sweet.

well. there is the microsoft marketplace. or .cab files.
.cab file instructions...
one. download application's .cab file. suggested list of applications can be found here.
two. move the .cab onto your phone's storage card.
three. on your phone, navigate to the .cab file with file explorer, or other like program.
four. open .cab file.
five. choose installation location. device or storage card.
six. select install.
seven. enjoy.
and i havent ever used marketplace before...
i always find the .cab file.

Not to make fun, but it is pretty surprising the you are able to unlock the phone and reflash the OS, but can't install software.
If you search this site, Microsoft Marketplace, or just do a Google for "Windows Mobile freeware", you'll find many thousands of apps. Find the app you want, copy or download the .CAB file to the TP2, and execute it.
For example, Google "Google Mobile Maps", download the Windows Mobile .CAB file, and run it.
Thanks
Well, the instructions to flash a phone are detailed and many. One problem I had was I was dropping the 7zip file onto the phone. Also, I could not unzip the file with the extension of 7z because I did not have the correct unzip manager. Another issue was I was trying to Sync the programs to the phone. Thanks for clearing it up. Is there a logical place to put them on the phone to make them run fast? Thanks in advance.

Installing to main (internal) memory is much faster than installing to the SD (external) memory. Installing large programs to the SD card is the general rule of thumb for obvious reasons. It's up to you where you prefer to install them.
If you mean where should you put the actual *.cab files, then you could always delete them once they've been installed. You don't need them again unless you're going to flash constantly. It's always good to back them up, so storing them on your PC or the SD card would be preferable.
Thanks a bunch!
well, check out this thread..........
cabs just load on the phone and run like any program, just find the file and click it. exe's need to run from windows (regular computer) and install through activesync.

Excellent Thread!!!!!!!! I too made all those mistake and diddn't know how to load .cab files. This is my first foray into modding phones so this thread was quite informative.
Hi,
I use HTC HD mini, windows mobile 6.5 professional
Every time i try to install a cab file, it opens as an internet browser with codes in it, at first i thought that's the cab file is corrupted but i tried with so many others, they all appear as an internet browser, i tried to install sdkcerts.cab but it also appears as a browser, i couldn't install any cab files either by copying and pasting it in the device or by using CAB via ActiveSync1.5
any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
no one can help me!!
